Digital Efficiency

Maritime digitalization is transforming our industry with time-saving and efficiency-enhancing tools.

The first step towards digital excellence

Ship owners and managers are looking to partner with classification societies whose digital innovation strategies and internal tools can provide efficient, timesaving solutions.

Bureau Veritas is optimizing, digitalizing and automating our internal processes. Our internal digital tools complement our clients’ systems, providing enhanced quality, faster turnaround times and more efficient service delivery. All industry stakeholders, including vessel owners, managers, shipyards, designers and manufacturers, benefit from these enhancements. These improvements enable us to offer higher-quality classification services with a more collaborative approach for our customers.

Providing advanced scheduling solutions

Bureau Veritas uses internal digital tools like MyChronos to promptly provide clients with surveyors when needed. This benefit is widely available to our customers, since over 90% of our surveyors manage scheduling using this tool. MyChronos is linked to Optimum Survey Planning, enabling clients to request, optimize and track survey planning online. Our experts also use the FIT digital tool to optimize design review and monitor drawing deadlines.

Mastering surveys from end-to-end

Our surveyors use digital reporting tools to obtain up-to-date information on in-service ships and carry out surveys on board with a digital checklist. These reporting tools offer consistency and efficiency across the Bureau Veritas network, enabling quicker, higher-quality reporting.

CENTRALIZING FLEET DATA IN ONE PLATFORM

MOVE by Bureau Veritas is a smart hub enabling shipowner clients and flag authorities to access all BV applications in one place. MOVE gives shipowners the ability to quickly view their entire fleet and follow vessels throughout their entire service life.

DIGITALIZING CLASS AND STATUTORY CERTIFICATES

Maritime digital transformation is improving classification and certification for all involved parties.

We support our clients with a variety of Digital Classification technologies, including 3D digital twins, remote inspections, augmented and data enabled surveys. 

  • Our 3D classification platform creates a “digital twin” of your vessel, speeding up the design review process and reducing the cost to achieve classification.
  • Our remote inspection technologies (RIT) like drones and robots reduce exposure to hazardous areas and allow for an unprecedented close-up survey of the hull structure.
  • Our Augmented Surveyor 3D (AGS 3D) uses AI and Augmented Reality tools like LiDAR drone surveys, digital twins and AI corrosion analysis to replace manual inspection.  
  • Our E-certificates are now standard, making certification delivery paperless, quick and secure. Ship owners can easily access and verify class and statutory certificates online.
